In the April editorial, the PLoS Medicine
Editors argue that the publication of new evidence of the complicity of medical
personnel in torture at Guantánamo Bay (GTMO) should bolster calls for further
investigation into the role of medical staff at the prison. The new evidence is
presented in research by Vincent Iacopino and Stephen Xenakis, in
which the review of case records and legal documents of nine individuals
imprisoned at Guantánamo Bay suggest that medical personnel assigned to the
Department of Defense neglected to act on and/or concealed medical evidence of
torture.
